De Saint Galle Orpale, 2012

Orpale is without a doubt the most complex, accomplished wine of the Champagagne de Saint-Galle portfolio. Always a vintage Champagne, it is the result of a highly unusual process: a portion of the grapes used to make this Blanc de Blancs do not undergo malolactic fermentation to preserve the freshness and mineral character of one of the best plots of the Côte des Blancs. An elegant wine with complex aromas, superb on the palate and with a long finish, it is a must. Orpale makes the most special occasion memorable, when served in its purest form as an aperitif or aired with a poularde with truffle butter and mushrooms or a veal roast and girolles.
